I was under the impression PS3 was getting Squeenix games. Have I been misled?
Good thing there's no SE involved, otherwise there wouldn't be a Ps3 version.Of course there's an exclusivity deal. PS3 software hasn't been lighting up the charts either, chief, at least in Japan.
Does MS have a deal with SE or what? Why the hell would SE only support the X360 with their jrpg's? Especially in Japan, where the Ps3 version of the games would sell 5 times better...
Some shady shit.

SE has been a disaster this generation on the console front. Capcom is still schooling all the Japanese devs this gen with its platform agnostic approach.
Crystal Tools? They seemed to bank their total multiplatform development on it. Wasn't it massively retooled at one point? (or still heavily in development at the start of the generation?).
To me the issues this gen are the art style, stories, characters and voiceovers.those are some rose tinted glasses you're wearing. I am going to leave the art style out of it since that is pretty subjective and I partly agree with it, but the stories, character, and voiceovers? Those have sucked in JRPGs for some time. And calling out the dinner dance? there is weird shit like that in plenty of older RPGs
I don't really care if the battle system is cool if I have to deal with horrible voice acting and a bunch of loli shit for 30+ hours. Looking at older RPGs that I liked, they were always much better stylistically than what I've seen this gen. Vesperia looks alright, but I have next to no interest in SO4, IU or Eternal Sonata because of shit like the dinner dance and that scene in SO4 with the winged chick trying to fly.
Not mention the loli shit.
Awesome, just when I was beginning to think no more RPGs would come out on next-gen systems after FFXIII.
We could use a new SMT (not Persona) game, something close to Nocturne thematically.
the only tri-ace series of note is VPDidn't like Star Ocean 4?
gunz
It says semi-realtime which gives some hope and some scare. Hopefully it means like VP and not like SO/IU. Tri-ace should stick to turn-based full-party control battle systems because they can't program AI worth a damn.
I like my RPG's AI rape free.
Would be cool if this forged a relationship where they have tri-Ace develop Phantasy Star 5.

Why would you want them to rape your childhood memories. Grab your game packages of Star Ocean 3/4 and write Phantasy Star 5/6 on them if you want that so much.

EoE is far from a distinguished mentally-challenged name.
Is it true that it will have random encounters?

God I hope no.
Woah, a JRPG from Square-Enix that doesn't feature twelve-year old children as the leads!! :o

- the director for EoE worked on VP2 (director), Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics (Battle Planner in both)
- the battle system is like VP2 (at least the basics), except with guns. You move=enemies move, you stay still=enemies don't move etc.. etc..
- the whole game will take place in Bazel, the big tower is just one part of Bazel.
- field movement is done by using hexagonal grids, battles are random while on the field. In dungeons, battles are seamless.
It seems pretty different from their usual stuff. It doesn't even look to me like Sakuraba is going to compose for this.
Tri-ace should go back to their old output of games because apparently uping the # of games only mangifies their flaws 100-fold.their last 2 console games consist of a tiny tri-Ace unit of about 30-40 people, with the rest being 'external experts'.

It's not from Square Enix.
Why are people so threatened by having little kids join your party in an RPG? Were you all bitching when Palom and Porom joined in FF4?
